KIRA KAPLAN

SOPRANO

HER CLEAR, PIERCING, COLORATURA VIRTUOSITY STOLE EVERY SCENE. Even when belting high Bs or navigating challenging vocal runs, she maintaing a CAPTIVATING AND CLEAR DECLARATION...PEERLESS SINGING WITH CONSISTENTLY COMPREHENISIBLE ARTICULATION. KAPLAN'S FULLNESS AND TONE provided essential parts to the story's climax. Had one word become incomprehensible amidst her GARGANTUAN SINGING then the realization of Emily Webb would have collapsed, but not once did she impede narrative intelligibility."
